H-E-B has extended its $2-an-hour pay increase for employees until at least May 24, the Texas supermarket chain announced on Thursday. The “Texas Proud Pay” for hourly store, manufacturing, warehouse, and transportation workers was implemented last month as employees worked to keep stores stocked during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Thank you, Partners, for everything you do!” H-E-B said on Twitter on Thursday. H-E-B first offered the additional pay effective March 16 through April 12, before extending it through May 10, and now again until May 24. The grocery chain said the stipend is its way of recognizing employees’ “hard work and thank them for their commitment as they help serve our customers & communities.”
